Prayer Lord, we thank you for life, and for all who share the
journey with us; for the sheer thrill, wonder and joy of being
alive in your world; for the
laughter of life and for all those who make our lives
worthwhile. Lord,
we ask that you will go on filling our hearts and our lives with
a deep sense of gratitude for all we have received at your hand,
that we too
may be witnesses to your glory and bring joy to the heart of the
Lord. In
the name of Christ our Saviour. Amen
